In this episode of The Nurses' Breakroom with Jenny Lytle, RN, I share my experience of stepping into the unknown—delivering my first keynote speech for International Women’s Day. From an unexpected opportunity to the challenges of preparing for a high-stakes talk, I dive into the importance of following those inner nudges (or "God nudges") and embracing discomfort for growth.

This episode also sheds light on the deeper realities women face, including shocking statistics about gender inequality, leadership gaps in healthcare, and the devastating impact of domestic violence. I open up about my own past experience with an abusive relationship and the life-threatening dangers many women unknowingly face.

Key Takeaways & Action Steps:

✔️ Trust the Nudge – Whether you call it intuition or divine guidance, leaning into discomfort often leads to growth.
✔️ Women in Healthcare – 75% of healthcare workers are women, yet only 28% hold leadership roles. Let's change that.
✔️ The Overload Crisis – 72% of women feel too overwhelmed to prioritize their own health. It's time to shift that narrative.
✔️ The Hidden Danger of Strangulation – A shocking fact: if a partner has strangled a woman even once, her risk of being murdered by that partner increases by 750%.
✔️ Support for Domestic Violence Survivors – Help is available. See the resources below.
